CMA has always included both 動功 and 靜功 (moving and stationary practices). They are both important and certainly NOT mutually exclusive.
And if you are trying to argue that ZZ is useless in terms of developing applicable skills, then I will go out on a limb here and say that you most likely have only been exposed to ZZ methods that are health-oriented as opposed to those designed to build a combat-ready body.

zz can also be understood to as a method to build fullness of energy, consciousness, awareness, etc within a body system.

Q: When would one want to "jump in the air" to punch or block in a fight?
A: it's just a time stamp.

You can see that when his hand starts to move, his foot starts to move. When his hand stops, his foot stops at the same time. His upper and lower body moving as one unit. This may take over 10,000 solo drill repetition to be able to achieve this. This is the kind of drill that I like to do when I walk (or run).
Can anybody understand what he is doing?
